2017-09-18 Don't remove Content-Encoding in fetchurl / nix-prefetch-urlEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
Fixes #1568.
2017-07-30 Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCIIJörg Thalheim1-8/+8
Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l | xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-07-04 Support base-64 hashesEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Also simplify the Hash API. Fixes #1437.
2017-03-15 runProgram(): Distinguish between empty input and no inputEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
For example, if we call brotli with an empty input, it shouldn't read from the caller's stdin.
2016-11-26 Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"Eelco Dolstra1-9/+9
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...
2016-11-25 Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)Guillaume Maudoux1-9/+9
2016-09-21 printMsg(lvlError, ...) -> printError(...) etc.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+3
2016-09-14 Enable HTTP/2 supportEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by default). For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2. This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.
2016-07-26 makeFixedOutputPath(): Drop superfluous HashType argumentEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2016-06-01 Make the store directory a member variable of StoreEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2016-04-15 BinaryCacheStore::readFile(): Return a shared_ptr to a stringEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
This allows readFile() to indicate that a file doesn't exist, and might eliminate some large string copying.
2016-02-29 Add an HTTP binary cache storeEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Allowing stuff like NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store -qR /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 or NIX_REMOTE=https://cache.nixos.org nix-store --export /nix/store/x1p1gl3a4kkz5ci0nfbayjqlqmczp1kq-geeqie-1.1 | nix-store --import
2016-02-04 Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2015-10-21 Disable TLS verification for builtin fetchurlEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This makes it consistent with the Nixpkgs fetchurl and makes it work in chroots. We don't need verification because the hash of the result is checked anyway.
2015-10-07 Show progress during downloadsEelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Add --name optionEelco Dolstra1-3/+7
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains "illegal" characters.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url -A: Use "name" attribute from Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-1/+8
This is in particular useful for fetchFromGitHub et al., ensuring that the store path produced by nix-prefetch-url corresponds to what those functions expect.
2015-10-07 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballsEelco Dolstra1-15/+47
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example: $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz or from a Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to "recursive".
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expressionEelco Dolstra1-4/+36
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: $PRINT_PATH -> --print-pathEelco Dolstra1-2/+6
2015-10-01 nix-prefetch-url: Rewrite in C++Eelco Dolstra2-0/+139
